LiveBlog for Thursday, July 16, 2009
• James Woolsey, former CIA Director, calls in at 6:05am Pacific to talk about clean energy and how it relates to our national security.
• Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) calls in at 6:30am Pacific to talk about the Sotomayor hearings and about health care reform.
• The Rude Pundit (Lee Papa) calls in at 8:30am Pacific to talk about the Sotomayor hearings and Sen. Jeff Sessions’ racism.
• Sonia Sotomayor strongly asserted her adherence to the law while senators from both parties pressed her on her personal views on issues such as abortion, gun control, and executive powers on the third day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Sotomayor consistently answered she needed to know the specifics of a particular case, such as applicable state statutes and other facts.
• One of several proposals to overhaul the U.S. health care system passed a Senate committee yesterday, with Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) praising the $600 billion plan as a step toward his longtime goals. GOPers said it costs too much and would ration care to Americans.
• Iran’s crackdown on protests after its disputed presidential election has “shifted” its prospects for direct talks with the United States, but they remain on the table, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said yesterday.

This will be another hi/bye for me. Meetings all morning, although I may be back for hour 3.
Regardless have a great show and blog!

This could be devestating for Dayton–”The greater Dayton region has the largest concentration of IUE-CWA retirees in the country. An estimated 12,000 to 14,000 retirees, excluding spouses and dependents, still live locally, said Steve Lykins, IUE-CWA administrative director.”

I’m just taking note that should Mrs. King get the part, she will become very busy. Therefore more free time for The Lar. js
*sigh*
here’s a comment on something from yesterday,
I grew up thinking putting a stamp on upsidedown means “I love you” to your addressee.
Good morning, live blogospherians! Our long national nightmare is almost over. The end of the Sotomayor hearings nears completion.
These folks are claiming a record, but what about Woodstock?
Here’s the skinny: This dip was for a record
http://hamptonroads.com/2009/07/heres-skinny-dip-was-record
morning, LC. Good to see you.
Here, take the LB baton.
I gotta get to work!
The end nears completion? I really need to think before I type.
It’s Miller Time!
12: depends what part of the body you put it on, mostly.
14: j ensign peterman holds the current record of duration for a dip into the hamptons.
We have no choice about what we’re doing in Iraq right now. Bush signed an agreement regarding our timetable for leaving.
He’s got some ‘splainin’ to do about that remark.
ricky ricardo was also mexican (during the cuban missile crisis)
Hullo!
#5 oy! I-75 9,000 gallons of gasoline burned up, no one hurt…
Fortunately Big Beaver is about 7 miles North of 9 mile rd,
so no beaver were injured in the making of this bonfire…
Good morning blogsters!! I managed to start streaming at exactly the point of him saying “Got some ‘splainin’ to do”…. IDIOT!!!
19 now I’m happy Ensign and Sanford won’t resign… it cripples
the rethugs. Dreadful Sara can just go to hell.
sotomayor to the third power? ridiculous ! – “she’s not even cubin !”

Home is heaven and orgies are vile,
But I like an orgy, once in a while.
Would he have thought it was appropriate to do a “Yes’m Mas’ser” joke to a black candidate!?!?!?!? Can we not find representatives who have at least a little tact?????
Tact? From a Republican? You’ve GOT to be kidding!
always love the perverted prose Mark!
I know left, but one can dream, right?????
Okay, I’ll revise that from “from a Republican” to “from a wingnut.”
Of course most Republicans nowadays seem to be wingnuts, so….
The Monica Conyers corruption case is all over the
front page of the Detroit Free Press this a.m.
Hear that John Conyers? You better be watching over your
shoulder. Sorry, Johnny, you lost me when you a) wouldn’t
go after the criminal Bush/Cheney cabal and 2. pal around
with Whack-job Krook Monica Conyers, you’re ever lovin’ wife…
30 hi Danielle! Ah, yes, Ogden Nash!
or how about Tom Lehrer?
Smut
Give me smut and nothing but
A dirty novel I can’t shut
If it’s uncut
And unsubt-
Tle
I’ve never quibbled if it was ribald
I would devour where others merely nibbled
As the judge remarked the day that he
Acquitted my Aunt Hortense
“To be smut it must be ut-
Terly without redeeming social importance”
Por-
Nographic pictures I adore
Indecent magazines galore
I like them more
If they’re hard core
Bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties, samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything! More, more, I’m still not satisfied!
Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers
Lurid, licentious, and vile
Make me smile
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime
Let’s face it, I love slime
All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder
For filth, I’m glad to say, is in
The mind of the beholder
When correctly viewed
Everything is lewd
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz, there’s a dirty old man
I thrill
To any book like Fanny Hill
And I suppose I always will
If it is swill
And really fil-
Thy
Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately
I’ve got a hobby, rereading Lady Chatterley
But now they’re trying to take it all
Away from us unless
We take a stand, and hand in hand
We fight for freedom of the press
In other words
Smut, I love it
Ah, the adventures of a slut
Oh, I’m a market they can’t glut
I don’t know what
Compares with smut
Hip hip hooray
Let’s hear it for the Supreme Court
Don’t let them take it away
Good one Shane-o!
so refreshing to hear jeff sessions being direct for a change. “screw, screw screw ya !!”
Caller: The word is condescending.
buchanan’s scheme is a transparent ploy to allow whites in the military.
G’morning, bloggistas! Another in and out day, but we’ll try for SPARTA!
In order to dance la bamba, and apparently to conduct a hearing to suss out the jurisprudential qualifications of a Supreme Court nominee, “necesita un poco de gracía”, you need a little grace. Sadly, the Republican Senators are conspicuously lacking in this trait
I think he said something like “rolled her in there.”
when people play banjo in a recording studio, are those moments technically classified as “jeff” sessions?
Oh Snap!! We NEED the 30 Rock drop where Jack Donaghy
tells Kenneth the page that he’s not a white man but
a Latina Woman
40: you mean the particular style with which the cracker known as graham made a joke about 9-11 lacked grace ?
“Socioeconomically speaking, you are more like an inner city Latina.”
– Jack Donaghy to Kenneth
in a way, ricky ricardo hizzownself was lacking grace. instead of changing the kids diapers, they took the easy way out and called him “little reeky”.
How many feet can fit into one mouth?
Steph’s Mom: “But Stephanie, you know Nice Girls don’t
wear Cha-Cha heels…”
Stephanie: “I said I wanted Cha-Cha heels!!”
– with apologies to John Waters
yes, I do like to repeat myself.
sessions and graham have stilts in their mouths. – too bad their mouths arent pretty.
Hiya, Bloggoes!
Staycay is going well! I finished a photo montage vid yesterday evening (no politics)

If you wanna take a look.
#44 flombaye.
I was contemplating Tom Coburn whining, But Leeedsey, I want to be in the cho!
47: it’s dick (“sucker”) morris for you on line 1
Let’s face it, Judge Sotomayor has the patience of a saint in order to not tell the RWNJs to STFU.
42 technically “jeff” sessions involve a dominatrix in a
bondage dungeon in a D.C. basement…
51: i’ve tried getting into margaret cho… not that easy.
Good yawning everybody,
#23: That was a close thing – I hate the smell of singed beaver in the morning…
(too soon?)
54: does it matter if the jars of jeff are crunchy or smooth?
Rep Sanchez: “Aw, isn’t that cute, a little Brown Woman trying
to interpret the law”
lololololololololololololo
57 the crunchy is much more… abrasive
or so I’m told
Let’s just hope the rightwingnuts don’t propose to confirm her as long as she promises to wear a basket of fruit on her head:
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Miranda
5/56: a crisis of that sort calls for decisive action. i knew what i would have to do, lickety-split !
#47: “How many feet can fit into one mouth?”
Under enhanced interrogation techniques, more than you think.
56 Oh! [Andrew Dice Clay voice]
hate it when the beaver get singed… so slow down arreddy, Speed Racer!
Interestingly enough, Carmen Miranda was Portuguese, which Republican Senators think is the same as Puerto Rican.
60: actually carmen miranda rights only apply to americans. maria is from puerto rico.
62: how many do i think?
#63 “Do you smoke after sex?”
“I don’t know. I never looked.”
64 I thought she was Brazillian?
68: no, that’s cutting it pretty close thoe.

69 — I thought you would say that.
#68 Born in Portugal, family moved to Brazil when she was still an infant.
#66: I can’t tell you, you don’t have the security clearance.
Hello, all. Hope you are having a good morning. I have the day off today so I will not blog and run. You guys are stuck with me for the full three hours.
I am going to direct you to my blog today, because I wrote about how someone is predicting $20 a barrel oil. By the way, if this guy is right, all you Goldman haters will be happy. Goldman is predicting $85 a barrel oil. You do the math. If Verleger is right, and Goldman’s traders and buying futures at up to $85 a barrel, guess who eats $65 a barrel on every trade?
I’m also going to direct you to another link where Meghan McCain rips into Joe the Plumber. McCain says that Joe the Plumber — you can quote me — is a dumbass.
Please tell me we won’t have streaming of the Sotomayor hearings today. Please!
67 in Steph’s case, she’s always Smokin’
Mammasita Caliente! Ay-yi-yi!
Andele Andele – Arriba, Arriba !
guess who eats $65 a barrel on every trade?
The taxpayer? Remember– “too big to fail!!!!!!”
#74 We’ve already been promised a live feed of the hearings.
70: now that’s the kind of discovation they should have used at the tropicana to get lucy into the show. – and somebody get the vitameatavegamin away from jeff sessions; he’s on a trajectory to botching one of lindsay’s 9-11 jokes.
Buenos dias, Gentes mio! Happy Thursday. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
Como estan ustedes?
72: the smuggling in a basket of fruit was an awesome idea. wonder if it shaded the girl’s psyche.
70- Mark that’s great!!
Tony, my thought is that speculation that Oil will be $20/barrel may cause a sell off, allowing Goldman to buy large quantities knowing it will skyrocket to $85… it may be a stretch, but for some reason my gut says something’s a bit smelly here…. hmmmmmmmm
#65 flombaye: “carmen miranda rights”
#64 LeftCenter, “Carmen Miranda was Portuguese”. True that, and grew up in Brazil, but the tutti-frutti bikini would look fantastic with that unflattering black robe!
73: maybe i do, and maybe i dont; and dont call me clarence.
Every time I think of Carmen Miranda, I think of the production number she did (directed by Busby Berkley), “The Girl in the Tutti Frutti Hat.” It featured a bunch of guys carrying bananas which alternately rose and fell as she passed by them.
The Ricci case…
Christina Ricci?
what’s she got to do with it?
74: cant be more than about another year or so for mccain to figure out that sarah palin is a mannequin.
Tony, I’d be happy to see Goldman take it in the shorts, of course. But $20 oil would stimulate a huge economic boom (well, recovery), which would be a truly Good Thing. But then, $20 oil will happen when pigs fly. To the moon.
76…nope. Goldman has the capital to withstand the trading losses. Besides, they can’t whine about trading losses because they made most of their profits last quarter from those. If you’re going to celebrate when you make money off someone else, you can’t complain when you’re the sucker. Goldman’s profits in everything but trading were down by a lot. That’s not surprising, because there wasn’t a lot of merger and acquisition activity last quarter and there wasn’t a lot of investment banking going on last quarter.
They’ll eat it, and learn and adjust their models.
vitameatavegamin
great ref
gimme another shot o’that stuff
82: smuggling a fruitbasket baby thru bikini instead of portugal would have taken more of atoll.
85: not now; wednesday.
86 and who’s hand is that up her ass working her mouth?
Dreadful Sara. Foul Human Weather. A pig wearing lipstick.
If you guys don’t want to go to my blog, you can check out Verleger’s site at pkverlegerllc.com
His reasoning is that supply exceeds demand by a million barrels a day, and they may run out of places to store the oil.
But if oil does go to $20 a barrel, I’ll buy long term futures. Over the long term, we will run into the problem of shrinking supplies and growing demand due to the growth of the emerging markets. So two, three years out, oil will be a hell of a lot higher than $20 a barrel.
More like 20 Euro oil, which by that time will be $180 oil..
91 Wednesday Addams best quote ever:
[to girl scouts selling girl scout cookies]
Are they made from real girl scouts?
incidentally, I was kicked out of Cub Scouts
for eating a Brownie in my tent… [skates]
Mark, you scally-wag!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
95: in your tent ! such flexibility ! — i really resent all the erection enhancement products; the only real erectile dysfunction is the pain of chronic erection, especially that one that lasts from about 8 to 17. – where’s the medication for that?
It’s the cool of the evening the sun’s goin’ down
I want to hold you in my arms, I want to push you around
I want to break your bottle and spill out all your charms
come on Stephanie we’ll set off all the burglar alarms
goin’ downtown down downtown.
– with thanks to Mad Tom Waits
94…nah, the Euro zone has bigger problems than the United States does. For all the talk of moving to a different reserve currency, the Chinese are still buying US treasuries. If some other currency becomes the world’s reserve currency, they’ll take a huge loss on those!
Mark, you’re slaying me.
Reminds me of a Hollywood Squares quip:
Q. Can boys join the Camp Fire Girls?
A. Marty Allen: Only after lights out.
Maybe the new world currency will be the Yuan..
97 I believe in cases of Portnoy’s Complaint a pliant,
pliable young lady is indicated
101: just whatr yuan anyway?
#95, #96: I need to get me a picture with a bow tie on so I can get away with material like that!
102: so all my efforts with plywood were a bit misguided?
flombaye, you mean the chronic erection occurring from age 8 to 80..?
Good morning. I’m back from Chicago.
I don’t understand why the Dems don’t just come out and say that race and sex do matter. A Latina will sometimes get a different answer from a white man. That’s why we value diversity in general. If they would always come to the same answers, then an all white male Court would be fine, it would come to the same conclusions as a diverse Court. I think that is why the Rethugs take this line of reasoning, it would justify having only white men in power, which is what they want.
100 Ow! Camp Fire Girls… and we’re back to the signed beaver ref
101 the New World Currency will likely be… the Canadian nickle,
featuring… a beaver of course
103: about 8 pills and a shot of Levemir..
106: more than 30 years nonstop, and you’re supposed to consult a physician.
#107 Not all white men would come to the same conclusions. I’d reach a different conclusion than say Justice Scalia in most cases.
95, 96 That’s James Coburn, “Our Man Flint”… like that huh? even plastered down my crazy owl/helmet hair
Lee Marvin, James Coburn…
Greatest
Actors
Ev-er
“maria, did you vote for pete tagliani?”
wow… I haven’t been here for a while… hope all are well…
How about them Republican grillers?
105 plywood?
Ply… Wood!?
Ply that wood off, Fryboy
111: well, yes. one certainly would hope that an educated molar would exercise better judgement than an affirmative action anal wart.
catch and release beaver
free the beaver! and the twins, while yer at it.
Steph: “Chris, call Mrs Ward and tell her she’s a whore”
112: are those really even 2 different people at all?
my beaver stack item, “Gourmet Beaver for Dogs” from
Canine Caviar, was immediately shot down by Radmilla.
I was just trying to ensure Max and Oliver received proper
nutrition. Was that so wrong?
She actually suggested I get drunk before I call back.
Har-rumph!
I told her give me twenty minutes.
he is after all B. J. clinton. – coincidence?
does the dead-body feeding robot freak anyone else???
Mark, 20 minutes??? C’mon you can do better than that!!! How fast can you do a shot of tequilla???
121: freak? – it doesnt know that dance yet. mostly it just does the watusi, the cabbage patch, the flintstone, the macarena, and… the robot.
118 I never saw them in the same room together, Major Reisman
Dang! Great Dick Vader!!
121 oh yeah. that’s just wrong
123… how close do we really need to get to creepy sci-fi movies???
Overwhelming urge to slap the living shit out of Jeff Sessions.. Someone STOP ME!!
I didn’t know Bobby Jindel was going to interview Sotomayor…. “American’s can do anything to discriminate…”
Looks like Graham is going to vote for her.
122 good point, I was prolly quite able to call back in FIVE minutes
with a drunk on… but Radmilla STILL wouldn’t let me on with Momma.
She’s c#$k-blocking me. She hates me. She just wants to keep me
away from Momma.
Oh who am I fooling? Stephanie has instructed the maid to pour
boiling water on me…
consciously confronting the concept of identity politics… not bad for a cracker.
How can one be against torture and yet broadcast Sen. Graham’s voice?
131… that’a boy! Ti He He… we could always have a contest…. we both have SMS titles to live up to here…
127: one time… at band camp… i suspended electricity for an entire day.
128: the “living” shit out of jeff? – i fear you may be disappointed.
Overwhelming urge to shave the heads of both Lindsay Graham and Jeff Sessions, coat with Crisco, and slam together, creating a massive, round, quaking, white ass.. Somebody STOP ME!
Steph doesn’t talk about her monkey much
poor little monkey
he’s gonna catch cold, shaved like that
Mean Old Stephanie
Is it just me?
Bobby Jindal/Kenneth Parcells… separated at birth?
Monkey? I thought it left when the organ grinder died..
137… ok, you owe me a keyboard… I think mine will malfunction soon considering the vat of coffee I just spit all over it!!!
139- see 129… we think alike!
134 both got that Irish thing going on… Cazadore Tequilla is
Very Nice.
Shots All Round!
133: you may have to consult that robopiper. he can ingest anything with carbon (they say it takes alkynes to run the world) and convert it into the sweet dulcet tones that will get lucille mcgillicutty’s sword dance with fruity hat and banana skirt into the hearings. of course. jeff sessions will just want it ‘splained why he’s been dreaming so much about eating a banana.
Sorry Danielle – the Crisco was a late idea – to improve the gloss of the pasty white crowns..
143… I’m Irish and Cuban, trust me, I think I was born with a drink in hand!
137: christopher titus flashback: i was going to stop him and then i realized, wait, wait, i want to see this !!!
#118, #124: James Coburn and Lee Marvin appeared together in:
“M Squad” (1957) {The Fire Makers (#2.29)}

Go West, Young Man! (2003) 6.9/10 (44 votes)

Of course this doesn’t prove anything.
142 Bobby Jindal… like he’s trying to make
people think he’s some kind of Good Ole Boy
Bobby Gentry/Bobby Jindal… Your Name is “Piyush”.
You are Indian from India, not a southern good ol’boy.
You are a rich rethug bastard too, not some kind of poor minority
Just like Mikey Steal isn’t a Brother, he’s a rich rethug scumbag
Did a righty seriously just ask how we know someone is telling the truth??? Really??? Seriously?? I can tell how I know when the righties are lying… anyone? anyone? Bueler? Umm, that’s right… THEIR FREAKIN’ LIPS ARE MOVING!!!
101…the yuan won’t become the world’s reserve currency until they let it float freely. No currency that is not allowed to float freely can be a reserve currency. China won’t let the yuan float, because that would cause it to appreciate against the dollar and they can’t have that since that would further hurt their export sector.
Anyone for a shot of Levemir? I have extra.
I’m sorry I’m being a bit disjointed. Rather than listen to the kabuki theater of the Sotomayor hearings, I’m watching Margaret Brennan on Bloomberg. It’s clear she needs to smooth off a few rough edges as an anchor. She’s used to being a general assignment reporter, and it shows.
She’s smart and bright and talented, though and she’ll work her way through it. And yes, she is real easy on the eyes.
By the way, we’ve got two different kabuki theater sessions going on in Congress today. Not only do we have the Sotomayor hearings, but we have Hank Paulson testifying on the B of A/Merril Lynch merger.
#121: Agreed. Flesh-eating robots are a Really Bad Idea.
148 wow, great quick research, Squeazy!
140 WTF?! Now I’m confused
I thought Chris is the Organ Grinder
he’s got WHAT? four of them
Chris plays the organ, Steph shows off the Monkey… Jim’s outta there
142…can we get Meghan McCain to call Bobby Jindal a dumbass, too? I mean, here is a guy who graduated with a degree in biology, yet he’s pushing for creationism? Did he get a lobotomy before he joined the republican party or something?
Scientific ignorance must be a requirement to join the republican party.
He’s been on before

“And even though I am disappointed by your long delay in answering my questions about the Uighurs, I am encouraged by your decision not to release Uighurs into the United States, despite earlier comments that you would do so.” – Jeff Sessions
If the Senator was pregnant, now that WOULD be news!
Your 38 weeks pregnant, a guy, 38 weeks is 9.5 months,
you’re a US Senator, and AFUCKINGDUMBASS
if there was a liberal media…..
From today on, every single day, Helen Thomas would ask Tom Colburn about his “splaining” comment.
or should that be my drunken Cuban Irish
mammasita mavourneen
#138: Everyone’s got something to hide except Steph and her monkey.
I think Colburn was trying to do a trick question, but trick questions can make the questioner look stupid.
#161 The human gestation period is approximately forty weeks.
LOL… 158 / 163.. it definately makes for a unique combination… can drink like the Irish and dance like the Cubans… I kinda like it…
Kooky Long-Koated Chihuahua keeps talking to me.
He goes on and on, “wrow wrow wrow… ” sounds like
a kitty cat… or a mouse
mebbe he wants some breakfast kibbles
back in a second…
Sorry, I just threw up in my mind..
Sigh…the Uighurs are not terrorists. The Chinese labeled them terrorists, but they also have labeled Falun Gong terrorists and they’ve done the same thing to the Dali Lama.
On the other hand, those sons of bitches have jailed, tortured, and executed people for speaking their mind after show trials. Then those thugs send the bill to their families for the bullets.
These Rethug moron scumbag Senators are so freaking cool
I just love seeing them show their true colors in front
of the whole world
Sessions, Graham, Ensign, Sanford, Palin… keep doin’ whatcher doin’.
I keep saying: JEFF SESSIONS’S NAME IS ALFALFA!
137/141: you owe me a bobby jindal blowup doll too.
Actually ANY journalist asking one of these racist Senators the same question every day, would be a little justice. But the media isn’t really Liberal, are they? Liberal Media? Ask Sessions why he made the “Puerto Rican like you” comment every day for the next 4 days. Ask him about it over and over for 4 hours.
Here is the stupid assed Republican strategy on these “hearings”: repeat the standard right wing mantra, assure the base of their continued racism, false piety, hypocrisy. Don’t want to lose that base!
Keep digging on the hole they’re in.
LOOK AT THE PICTURES! JEFF SESSIONS – ALFALFA! JEFF SESSIONS – ALFALFA! JEFF SESSIONS – ALFALFA! JEFF SESSIONS – ALFALFA!
167 Hank III show, looked like you were doin’ it
Whee!
[mayberry blog ref]
173 the Bobby Jindal Blow Up Doll,
“The One With Volcanic Action”
“Blows like a Hurricane”
“Special French Quarter Edition”
has been backordered
174 it’s really just a show for the rubes, isn’t it?
wait, why is Steph making us listen to it then?
154: this you must admit: you can agree with a question?
flombaye – I thought the Bobby Jindal dolls were guaranteed. Did you get the one with the reservoir tip? The ribbed ones, particularly the one with the rooster comb are more prone to failure.
But they DO take a long time to inflate. I compliment you on your lung power.
173- the thought that that might actually exist sent a shiver up my spine… eeewwwwww…. can’t shake mental image… eeewwww…
177… that show seriously rocked… i actually had battle wounds… hands scraped up, shins, knees, and somehow even inner thighs bruised as if I’d been beaten… but all definately worth it… my legs actually hurt from dancing so much!! And thanks for the blog ref… been trying not to blog pimp.. ti he he..
#6—Can we just fire Glenn Beck now? Isn’t there some FCC law that says the people have the right to fire people who are using the public airwaves for an ear toilet?
I’m sure “ear toilet” has to be in the law journals somewhere.
#21—-some ‘splaining? Can we fire some Senators too? Power to the people man!
183: extra neato nifty scare tactic from glenn baeck yesterday: health care is one the way! can we survive it?
164
Monkey in the Meth Stash!
Oh Stephanie, monkey-shines
Chris with the callin’ Momma 60 years old… snap!
#155: I should have credited imdb.com for that quick lookup.
#140: Wait … the organ grinder died? That explains the smell. But who killed him? Where, and with what? Please, no robots!
Oh, let Beck rant. We need someone to laugh at.
Let me just continue to ask the same question in case any dumb republican hasn’t heard the quote yet… that way I can make you say over and over and over again that you were stupid to say it…
182 as you said, It’s not a really good nite unless
yer eatin’ breakfast at 3 am and have battle scars the next day…
ah, takes me back… to last week
#43—I agree. Where’s Shane-O? I “heart” Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock.
Sessions: Let me ask you that again …. can I have mine “CON QUESO”?
190… I’ll have to email you some of the other pics… the ones I posted were actually the tame ones…
187: a guess on the killing of the organ grinder: it was mayonnaise (played by trini lopez (alongside either james coburn or lee marvin), in the banjo room, with the very same cylindrical cheese grater that was used for the organ grinding.
187 no, no Chris is still around, still with his four organs,
still grinding them… and Steph’s monkey is still ok, despite
the danger of catching cold, what with being shaved and all…
it’s Jim we’re worried about… no one has ever actually SEEN
Mrs. Ward, it’s surmised she’s actually a blow up doll…
Jim took off during vacation to get married and didn’t tell
anyone or invite them to the reception… very suspicious
193 whooo hooo! do send them
195: some folks like a bit of privacy. can you plame him?
#178: The blow-up doll that “can do any-thing?”
#180: Aargh, grammarian counterstrike!
193: would you email me some 8×10 glossy copies for my cuban-irish chicks shrine?
191, 43 then there’s the later drop where Jack tells Kenneth
“You Are One Latina Fantastica. ”
but we should save that one til she gets confirmed
198 178 that’s the blow up doll that will do anyone
I came home, she was still laying on the couch, with
a box of bon-bons and a pile of Cosmos… right
where I left her. The sink was still full of dirty dishes,
she hadn’t even tried to straighten up. I flipped, I threw
her out… later I realized ‘what have I done?!’ where will
she go… she has no job skills… how will she live? Then
I opened the paper… she’d married the Governor
#164: Oh, so the monkey got into the meth stash and killed the grinderman? Figures.
jeff sessions…. monkey on meth… potato…. tomato…
Desi Arnaz/Ricky Ricardo played a conga drum, not bongos.
199….Hey, I was talking about Margaret Brennan. She’s definitely Irish, and if you like watching dancing Irish women, she used to do competitive Irish dancing. I never knew there was such a thing until I read her bio.
Has he mentioned Speedy Gonzales? *hey, I’m back!*
well, gotta go to the store for a minute… get a sparta in for me if I miss it! BRB
205: ahhh! competitive irish dancing! manly yes, but i like it too.
Sex Academy I, II, III, IV and (mmmmm) V!
You Are One Latina Fantastica.
Smut, I love it
Ah, the adventures of a slut
Oh, I’m a market they can’t glut
cause it don’t douse the flames
that are started by dames
i’m tired of all these soldiers here
no one speaks English and everything’s broken
and my Stacys are soaking wet
Hmmm…920 Cal/h….With my staying power, I should burn….3 Cal!
The Italian Chandelier Position is similar to the Straight Legged Reverse Cowgirl position. I found an animated illustration of the Itallian Chandelier position using figure drawing mannequins.

If the Italian Chandelier were energy-efficient, wouldn’t that mean that it burned LESS calories?
#212 NSFW http://store.yahoo.net/sexualpositions/chanposakait.html
202 worked that grinderman to death did that littul monkee
206 Speedy Gonzales ref see #75
I gotcher ideas for how to keep your fingers fragrant right here…
212 is that like the Swedish Helicopter?
Hmmm…912 Cal/h for women. Damn! Wrong sex again.
Well, I hate to bow out just when it was really getting interesting, but She Who Must Be Obeyed and delivered another pair of stone tablets of Task Commandments for me. I must service it..
I will admonish you, fellow BlookenMoggsters – get your asses in gear if you want to see Sparta! Don’t be a jobbernowl – you aren’t that, are you?
Hasta manana. Don’t you ever change a thing.
L.
Hey, folks, if you’re tired of the Sotomayor tap dance, you can turn to Bloomberg or CNBC and watch the Hank Paulson tap dance.
It’s amazing to me to watch these Congressional hearings. First, you beat up on Ken Lewis. Now, you say poor Ken Lewis. Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson made you go through with the Merrill merger.
Which is it, dumbasses?
216: so glad i invested in that swiss army helicopter. hasselhoff really thunk he was gonna escape from me under water.
SEX IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!
best segue ever! – - – droning on about sexual positions, and then the illustration of my thotts comes to fruition… stephy declaring “a bed is just a bed right? well not my bed!”
The Italian Chandelier : at least there’s no hanging upside
down while a guy in a batman suite jumps out of the closet…
aka the Italian Banker: GREAT Propaganda Due/Roberto Calvi
Hanging under Blackfriars Bridge/Vatican Bank-CIA drug-money laundering
ref
Jim killed the Hoff! And KITT has embarked on a road trip of self-discovery.
220…..get to da CHAAAAP-ERR
The Italian Chandelier would use less energy with fluorescent bulbs.
216 Steph, can you still fit in your DRNDL?
SwissMiss… teach me to yodel?
218 She Who Must Be Obeyed…. hee hee
or as in the case of Stephanie Miller,
“She Who Must Be Adored”… she’s just so adorable.
My parents had a de Soto Mayor station wagon. Like a bus.
I hope that Clearchannel never finds out that Steph and the Mooks are surfing porn sites at work.
Italian Chandelier requires the wearing of socks…
I thought Steph never takes her multi-colored toe socks off anyway…
she’s like a half grown female pup
splain it to us Steph… pant pant
Love you guys!!
230: guess how many of his lives dick morris would trade for that.
Horn dogs? Yes, we are!
228 the de soto mayor Station Wagon, suiteable for packing
the kids in before lighting up the Lucky Strikes and spraying
the full can of Hair-Net with all the windows up…
Most homes I’ve lived in had a woman occupying the crab position 24/7/365.
236: also the very first place where shirley partridge and carol brady experienced a reuben sandwich.
#230 Are those with the individual toes? Probably not, since they wouldn’t accommodate Steph’s hammertoe.
226 Twisty Florescent Bulbs! lowest carbon footprint,
longest lasting
great stamina
thru what combination of filters, warped tuning, and stone cold deafness did whitney houston ever get misinterpreted as being able to sing? – the whole debacle invites a copyright lawsuit over the “dora dora dora” episode of the partridge family – the one where george burns appeared because he couldnt land that cameo on “the mod squad”.
239 230 of COURSE Steph’s multicolored toe socks have the individual
toes… hammer toe is a prollem, yer right. I think she just stuffs
several toes into one… toe thing, leaving other empty.
240. twisty fluorescent bulbs = bad news. they’re full of mercury and very tricky to dispose of. If you break one, leave the house and find out how to handle it, fyi.
236
My parents had a DeSoto. Couldn’t drive through a puddle without the ignition system shorting out.
That’s what went wrong with the Italian Chandelier. My wife was on the bottom!
238 Oh! She got the Bonus Plan!
Carol Brady/Shakes the Clown line: “You’re my First Clown”
wow, made it back before Sparta… life is good!
241 Whitney one of the funniest clowns ev-er
smart women rarely marry. for every 15 point rise in IQ, the likelihood that a woman will marry drops by 58%
Slowly creeping up on Sparta….
245: was your chandelier partner as surprised as you were?
smart men marry like crazy. For every 15 point rise in IQ, the likelihood that a man will marry increases by 55%
Asked why she was pounding hangnails with her hammertoe, Steph replied: “I was board.”
245 ouch! you got the Italian Chandelier all twisted around bass-akwards
#245 Even moreso.
the higher a woman’s social class, the less likely she will marry. The higher a man’s social class, the more likely he will marry
252: if i didnt know better, i would surmise that i’m frikkin smart; i married some excellent specimens, early and often.
Whitney Houston has pipes, just like her mother Cece, IMHO
#254 On our dorm floor in college, we had floor t-shirts. My number was 96. Screwed that up, too.
199.. You’re takin’ that blog-pimp thing to a whole new level, huh?
253: extra tooly there, scootsy graham.
Hey Mayberry… that’s my blog!! http://themayberrylane.blogpot.com where flom, you can see the tame pics Mark is refering to
Yes….we got an Ahnuld imitation!
During several long sojourns in Puerto Rico I learned that ALL Puerto Ricans agree all the time and NEVER argue! [Just pegged my sarcasm meter.]
259: you guys must have been shellacked to come up with that idea. – did any of the sorority girls turn up pergo?
262
blogpot? oh…wow…
lol… fruedian slip perhaps… let me try again… http://themayberrylane.blogspot.com... I was exicted…
On behalf of all America, I’d like to apologize to Judge Sotomayor for having to endure cracker-barrel korner in the Senate.
“I like Hispanics, some of my best friends are hispanics,
I got nothing against the Spics, except they breed too
much and the sneak over our border… if they could just
stay in their place, working in the garden or being my
maid or babysitter for below minimum wage and no benefits
and work in my factory with no safe working conditions
and don’t complain or I’ll have you deported…” –Rethuggery
Danielle, you could put that site in the “Website” block when you reply. You won’t have to keep re-entering it. Then we can just click on your name.
260: not that new really…. just a spinoff of my HOT WISE LATINA CHICK section. i’m especially pleased by the photos of lucy auditioning at the tropicana in the banana skirt.
mark, you literally just took the words I was thinking… “some of my best friends…”
270… honestly asking.. not being a smart a$$… but wouldn’t that mean it shows up on every post… wouldn’t that be some seriously annoying blog-pimping?
my ex wife loved the 96 position, that’s back to back, asleep,
having got none, again
Rhythm (and Justice Sotomayor) is gonna get you!
#274 Whose head was at the foot of the bed?
270
I don’t think so. Your name just turns yellow. Check the other names, many come up with blog addresses as well.
#274 Sounds like the effects of a ‘same sex’ marriage (i.e. the same sex over and over and over…)
i hate having my SM interrupted by JW’s.
269: i was sitting on the steps of the california capitol, minding my own biz, when my dear friend jeff, a doppelganger of the original “brawny” peper towels logo, sat and hugged me and said “I LOVE YEW PEEPUL !! ; I HAVE ATE AT TACO BELL SVERAL TIMES !!”
Loooosee!
ever see Mad TV’s Lucy thing where she and Ethel start whoring?
They’re entertaining a troupe of sailors when Fred/Ricky walk in…
very funny stuff, and spot on for costumes/set/overall look
270
The “website” option was provided before there was a StephSpace. Before that it went to one of my (useless) blog pages.
277… well, thanks for the info… I didn’t know that… hey, learn somethin’ every day!
276: youda thunk joe pesci could afford a better duffel bag.
282
boy that came out stupid sounding.
I have never been able to get into Steph Space.. they reset the PW for me, but that’s when I had all the medical issues and was in/out of the hospital for a couple months… so when I eventually tried to log in, it didn’t work and no one has responded to my additional emails…
283
Alright Danielle!
281: how embarrasking. especially after i et one of them. – you et two, brutus?
Oh, god….so we’ve got more grandstanding tools. People are asking Paulson how he would have prevented the housing problems. Uh, how about telling people not to buy more house than they could have dreamed of affording and not to lie about their incomes?
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Yes, companies like Countrywide created liar loans so they could make money, but who were the dumbasses who used them? What kind of a moron thinks, hey, I’m actually going to owe more on this loan month after month and that’s a good thing?
288
Wimpy et one. For which he will gladly pay me on Tuesday.
276 OW! L.C. ya cut me to the quick
278 same sex marriage… lol
“Hey, you think I LIKE ignoring my wife to hang out with 23 year
olds all night?”
she was not into sex. the truth. but she acted as if she liked it
until we were married. Aw, it’s not like I was the greatest husband
ever and she had nothing to complain about from me. We were just
very different people. Hope she enjoys the house I bought her.
Maybe the New Foole will find the gun I bought her one of these
days, and maybe it will start looking good…
puerto rico libre!
Of course, Judge Sotomayor is so smart, I can her imagining her reading all magazines and newspapers.
ricky ricardo was obviously onto jeff sessions long ago.
AYE AYE AYE AYE AYE !
Hey, let’s prank-call Sessions and play some Miami Sound Machine over the phone
wait, 289, you’re saying if i only make 40K a year, then i shouldn’t be able to buy an over inflated house for 500K?
286
You try commerce@stephaniemiller.com ?
Not that I haven’t tried in a long time.
Okay, let’s go for it…SPARTA!
Hey kids, guess what time it is? It’s Sparta Time!
SPARTA
293: the quote from page 211 of “field and stream” was especially telling.
Sparta????
Missed twice by two…a new personal record!
all hail Trojan!! Sparta cheers!
Yay, trojanrabbit. You haz a Sparta! *bows*
Congrats trojanrabbit!
i’m telling you…these hearings go great with Kozy Shack rice pudding
302: if you have to ask, you cant afford it.
I thought the repub’s didn’t want someone making law from the bench… isn’t that what he’s asking her to do???? I’m confused…
Steph: Remember, he’s a member of The Family, and they’ve forgiven him. That’s all that counts for members of that cult.
As I’ve said before, Oklahoma’s senators are the tooliest tools in the universe’s toolshed.
309
Of course it’s OK when they do it. Tired old meme but true.
295 yea! prank calling l’il Jeffy Sessions
then we’ll prank call Mrs. James Ward and tell her she’s a whore.
i’m not an auto mechanic, thoe i sometimes play with one on youtube… but is that why maria is on display instead of stephy? – is it all about the rack and ‘pinions?
Trojan takes the cup! Must be the reservoir tip.
skates…
i notice that they are mentioning what the rest of world does law wise (on the subj of abortion)…yet yesterday they stressed that law should not be made based on the laws of other countries…WTF?
310 keep hammering on The Family. That group needs an enema.
Can’t Ensign get jail time for paying off the mistress,
or employing her and her hubby on the payroll? WTF!?!
313: dude. dont tie up a CIA number with a prank call.
Wow… that was a good one K-g… enjoying the penalty box? I know capt left some great stuff in there…
Why are the repubs soo preoccupied about abortion when. When they were in power there was never a word said about it!!!
#320 Pro-lifers need to get a clue that they are being used at the ballot box.
313. with an Argentinian accent
That’s All Folks! See you tomorrow!
319: why is the twister mat in the penalty box so sticky?
315 OW! Reservoir ref Dog~ nice
bye Momma, Mooks, Bloggers… off to do… something
attempt to not get drunk til at least after 5pm
well, later all! Mark, I’ll be chattin’ with you via blogs… Tony, you too, if you’re still here!
